Senator in Search of the "Truth"

This idea just fascinates me, a "truth comission" is a great idea, but why hasn't anyone thought of this before? There are Congressional Commisions that oversee educational scholarships, but none that oversee the ethical standards within the government, it just seems to be a bit overdue. I think a commission such as this would not only benefit those who want the truth on the actions within the Bush administration, but for all administrations to come in order to make sure that no executive administration abuses their powers, and perhaps such a commission should be implemented in all three branches of the government.

Unfortunately, Commissions have been developed in search of the "truth" in rather recent times with the intent of discovering the Bush Administration's wheelings and dealings. Anyone remember that little thing called the 9/11 Commission? I do and what it did is further my distrust in our government and make me more cynical when the most crucial elements of the document were deemed to harsh for the general American public to see.
